Reading things that have been printed to console?

Reading this is like looking at monkey trying to open a metal can with a branch -_-"

If you seriously want to learn how to create client hacks, visit my community at http://rs-hacking.com and check out the turorial section...

As for this problem, ever considered just getting the version number from the client using BCEL and querying the server for the latest version number and then compare those?

I don't think SuF was referring to BCEL client hacking as much as a simple world loader that uses runescape.jar to load the game.

You could always use the runescape.jar on the site to load the game, couldn't you?

You don't need to modify the client in any way to use BCEL to get the client version... And you could also simply get the version from the server, store it in a file, and when you get a new version from the query download the jar again...

Ok you don't understand the code

Im sorry but why are you making a rs client if you can't even understand basic code such as this?

Maybe you should do some studying before programming a client otherwise your account and many others could get banned.

I understand the code perfectly fine... He said something about it knowing when it was outdated and I did not understand what he was on about.

@Freddy

I am not trying to make client side hacks. I am just trying to get some practice by making a world switcher that loads the client from your computer.

I thought doing it this way would be easy, but its really not. If I had time to go through RS source to find out how to ask the server the version number I would... But... I do not feel like it.

One variable is kept constant throughout each client version, you just have to find it's value. I'm sure you could use the BufferedReader API to help you.
